The Hunter Boys

They were bound hand and foot.

They were gagged with a knotted bandanna and tape.

They were held by their arms and punched in their guts until they collapsed.

They were shoved into the back of a Jeep, and covered, their bodies squashed together.

They bounced into each other as the Jeep plowed through the woods.


When they reached their hideout....

...they dumped the boys out of the Jeep and carried them, one by one inside.

There they roped their elbows together, bent their legs, and tied their ankles to their thighs.

On the floor were 4 nooses strung up to a rafter in the cieling.

The frightened Hunter brothers squirmed as much as they could, figuring there were going to be hung their necks, but they slid the noose up the boys bound arms to their biceps and then hoisted them up until their knees were on the ground.  They ropes pulled their upper arms so close that their shoulders dislocated from their bodies!

As they hung from their arms,  their shirts were torn open baring their chests.  Using a can of spray paint, they put a number across their torsos....1,2,3,4.

...and then videoed and photographed the helpless youths.

Then he tossed a dice.

Jesse Hunter's eyes open wide as he saw it was the number sprayed onto his chest and gut.

He looked terrified as one of the kidnappers pulled out a knife.

Then they blindfolded the brothers, hoisted them up so their knees were off the floor and left them waiting......... 

Forced to watch

Smile for the camera

Wet rawhide rope

Jesse stripped to the waist.  He watched them put the rawhide in a bucket and them, with his best friend Joshua on his belly, bind his arms.  

Then it was his turn.  He got onto the splintery wooden floor and put his arms behind his back.  All three now worked to rope him.  Wrists elbows and forearms were lashed together.  Binding his upper arms at his triceps, they were puled a scant 3 inches apart.

Made to stand, he was pushed into Joshua's chest.

They roped their torso's together, and kicked them onto the floor.  There they were gagged with tape as their knees and ankles were tied together.

They poured the bucket of cold water onto their torsos, making sure the rawhide was soaked.

Then they left them.

The two men struggled frantically to try to escape their ropes but it was impossible.  They lay there and sweat, looking into each other's terrified eyes wondering how long it would take for the rope to dry.

Hours passed.

Joshua felt it first.  On his upper arms.  They were being pulled closer together!  He could fee the stress in his shoulders.  Jesse felt it first on his forearms... It was digging into his muscle.  Finally they both realized there bodies were being crushed together.

When the ropes finally dried, there were in agony. They could feel each other's hearts racing in their chests.

Then the gagged screams started, bringing back their kidnappers.

The boss had finally arrived and was wrapping his hands....

Joshua and Jesse were swinging from their feet and they were beaten and videoed.  Then there were again left, hanging,their blood and sweat dripping to the floor.

Kindapped

They made the Benson brothers put their arms behind their backs. He crossed their wrists and tightly bound them.  He used bandannas to blindfold the men and had them kneel.

The one with the guy stood guard, while the other ransacked the house.

"Got some stuff but not what we thought. But there is a nice SUV in the garage.  Let's take them and hold them for ransom!"

A chill went down the brother's spines.  Young Brian whispered:  WE"RE GOING TO BE KIDNAPPED!

"That's right boys, you're being kidnapped.  Use the drug!"

With their hands tied behind there backs and blindfolded there was not much they could do. Syringe was pushed into their shoulders, and they slumped to the floor.

=======================================================================

They came to.   They were outdoors, strung up by their wrists.  Their upper arms and necks were lashed to the poles.  They were on their knees.  Their legs had been pulled behind the pole and their ankles, crossed and tied and been pulled up and tied to the pole.

Billy was choking, not only from the tight rope around his neck, but the bandanna had been shoved deep down his throat and keep in place with rope between his teeth.  The roping of his biceps cut off the blood to his upper arms, which were purple, the hairs on his forearms matted with sweat.

Brian was squirming.  The hot sun was beating down on him, burning his chest and guts.  It was torture, he thought he was on fire.  He was gasping and screaming muffled gagged sounds.  He fought so hard to escape that his wrists and biceps began to drip blood.

They decided to make a photo-video with the ransom demands, and they would make an example of Seth, the oldest brother.  They made a tourniquet around his neck and upper arms and wrists and videoed as they turn it, blood squirting from his wrists and arms, his eyes popping out of his head, gasping for breath.  When the stopped and released it, he fell was unconscious, his sweat covered chest glistening  in the scorching sun.

Night came, the bugs came out and feasted on their bodies.

The next day they heard that the ransom had been paid.  They were cut down, and collapsed in the dirt, their arms quaking, their throats parched, their legs cramped, arms and wrists deeply slashed by the rope.

They threw Seth the keys to the SUV.

As their kidnappers mounted bikes and drove off the brothers crawled like half dead animals to their car and drove off looking at the GPS for the nearest hospital.
